- 💰 Your tax dollars are funding a significant left-wing political influence campaign that provides staff and policy ideas to the Biden administration.
- 🎯 This campaign is actively working to oppose President Trump's policies on immigration and his reforms to the federal bureaucracy.
Government Grants and Nonprofits
- 💸 Government grants, such as those from the US Agency for International Development (USAID), have provided over $20 million to the Tide Center, a nonprofit that supports various leftist groups.
- 🤝 USAID also has established connections with nonprofits founded by George Soros, who has funded numerous left-wing causes.
- ⚖️ Organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) have received funding from these networks and have taken legal action against Trump's policies.
Union Influence and 'Official Time'
- 🏦 Big labor unions are a substantial part of the left's infrastructure, channeling funds into dark money networks that support activist groups filing lawsuits.
- 🏢 The SEIU, for instance, contributed $1.7 million to the New Venture Fund, a dark money nonprofit.
- ⏳ A practice known as 'official time' allows federal government workers to use taxpayer money for union work instead of their official government duties.
- 📊 The Biden administration has not released figures on 'official time' spending, but the Trump administration reported $27 million spent on union time in 2024.
Lawsuits Against Trump Administration Policies
- 🏛️ The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a large federal employee union, has filed at least nine lawsuits to block Trump's reforms aimed at increasing government accountability.
- 📚 The research on this topic has been presented to Congress twice and is detailed in the book "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government."
